Hyssop Press operates as a literary magazine with an open, rolling submissions policy. The absence of a fixed deadline suggests a continuous editorial process, one that privileges sustained engagement with new work over the cyclical urgency of contest-driven reading periods. For writers, this means the opportunity to submit at any time, though it also demands patience and an understanding that editorial attention is distributed across an ongoing stream of manuscripts rather than concentrated around a single date. The magazine's stated genres—fiction, poetry, and nonfiction—indicate a broad literary scope, though the lack of further description leaves the aesthetic and thematic parameters undefined. This openness can be read as an invitation to writers working across traditional and hybrid forms, but it also places a premium on the writer's ability to self-assess fit. Without explicit guidelines or a stated fee, submitters should proceed with the expectation that standard literary magazine conventions apply: a cover letter, a clean manuscript, and adherence to formatting norms are baseline requirements. What Hyssop Press offers is not a prize, a residency, or a developmental program, but the possibility of publication in a literary venue. The curatorial vision is therefore inferred from the act of reading itself—an editorial practice that remains invisible until the work appears in print or online. Writers should approach this opportunity as they would any serious literary submission: with careful attention to craft, a clear sense of their own voice, and a willingness to wait for a response that may take weeks or months.
